A flavour of the St Patrick's Day festivities and people who attended the Parade in Cork yesterday. Special Olympics Team Some of the Special Olympics Team took part in the parade and as I said yesterday, it was strange to see only them on the street with nobody else about. Everyone cheered them on however...

St. Patrick's Day is for the kids A young girls waves her Irish flag in the air after spotting part of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Cork approaching. I shot several decent shots but it's late and I'm tired. I was quite disappointed with the parade and left after half an hour. Like previous...

That bread is mine! A heron swoops in on a bunch of greedy gulls at The Lough yesterday! For more pictures, check out Katie's set and Will's photos! In retrospect, we were very lucky with the weather for the photowalk. Just after I got home the downpour started and 60mph winds ravaged the south of...

Charity Daffodils Here are the daffodils my wife picked up when she gave a nice crisp €50 note to the Irish Cancer Society collector in Blarney this afternoon. A few days ago I offered to give the proceeds from the sale of a photo to charity plus €50 of my own money/. Nobody splashed out...

Toilet Trouble The toilets in Connolly Hall, Cork. This is that ugly ass black building across the river from the City Hall. It looks so out of place where it is, although developers are quickly changing the face of the city to match ..

Fitzgerald's Park Bench A park bench in the lovely and picturesque Fitzgerald's Park, Cork. Something awful happened. I went away with my family on a great weekend break on Friday and in the rush and stress I forgot to post some photos for the weekend. I'm catching up!

Luigi Malone's Clock Behind the bar in Luigi Malone's Restaurant in Cork are 2 large clock faces. The bar goes around in a U shape and the other face is directly behind this one. They're very striking, and the first thing anyone notices when they come in the front door. This is the one facing...

The sandy beach at Couminole I photographed the beach at Couminole on the Dingle Peninsula back in 2006 when there was a beach there. There was no sand to be seen during repeated visits there in September 2007. I had actually quite forgotten I had taken this so it was nice to see the lovely...

Donkey eyes staring at me The donkey knows everything. He stands in his field every day contemplating life. This is the same donkey I posted before in Baile na nGall, Co. Kerry. We passed that way last September and I didn't see him so if you see a wandering donkey, tell him I said hi!

Unnamed Beauty This is one of the beautiful girls who modeled for Mallow Camera Club in September 2006. I can't remember her name, and at the time I was totally unhappy with the image, but maybe it's because I haven't looked at it in a long time, I really like it now. I shot several...

The Fields of County Cork On the way into Cork Airport I snapped this shot of the beautiful green fields of Co. Cork. After the desert landscape of Arizona it was a relief to see familiar countryside again.

The Happy Shih Tzu Our Shih Tzu, Oscar, received a long overdue grooming today. Here he is on the 10th of December 2007. Can you imagine how much more hair grew since then? Yes, this photo is very similar to this beach photo. They were taken moments apart. I'm running low on prepared images, it's...
